Chapter 1320: Romantic lion
Before "Freedom to Guide the People", Ye Tianzheng explained this world-famous painting to everyone with great emotion.
At this time, he has swept away the haze brought by "The Raft of Medusa", his expression is excited, his voice is full of passion, clear and loud!
The same goes for Betty, Anderson, and many other visitors. The sun is shining on everyone's face, and there is no more gloom!
"As everyone knows, this "Freedom to Lead the People" is from the "Lion of Romanticism", the famous French painter Delacroix, and is his most outstanding and famous work.
He inherited and developed the achievements and traditions of various European art schools since the Renaissance, including the Venetian School, the Dutch School, Rubens and other famous artists, and had a huge impact on later generations.
After introducing Delacroix, I will introduce this painting again. This is an oil painting created by Delacroix to commemorate the French July Revolution in 1830. It is a representative work of romanticism.
The content of the painting depicts the scene of street fighting at the crucial moment of victory in the July Revolution. With romanticism, it skillfully combines freehand brushwork and realism to reproduce the battle on the streets of Paris.
Delacroix uses rich and blazing colors and contrasts of light and dark, dynamic composition, unrestrained brushwork, compact structure, showing the revolutionary enthusiasm and indomitable momentum.
He used his paintbrush to eulogize the July Revolution with workers, petty bourgeoisie and intellectuals as the main body. Once this "Freedom to Guide the People" was published, it immediately caused a sensation throughout Paris.
The content displayed in this painting appropriately expresses the core political theme of modern society, ‘freedom and democracy’. This painting has also become a symbol of the French national spirit! ..."
With Ye Tian's professional explanation, everyone at the scene focused on admiring this romantic masterpiece, and their understanding of this world-famous painting became more profound!
Even the lecturers and tour guides at the Louvre, as well as the painters who made the copy, listened enthusiastically to Ye Tian's explanation, and they were also very fascinated.
Everyone at the scene fell silent, only Ye Tian's voice echoed in the air, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Let's analyze the characters in the painting. This young woman holding a red, white and blue flag and holding an infantry gun is Clara Lessing, which also symbolizes the Statue of Liberty.
The teenager to the left of the Statue of Liberty wearing a black velvet beret, carrying a large ammunition box, and waving a cavalry pistol in his hand, is a symbol of the young hero Alaire.
In the July Revolution, Clara Lessing first raised the tricolor flag that symbolizes the Republic on the barricade; the young Allaire put the flag on a bridge next to Notre Dame de Paris.
After planting the flag, Allaire was shot and fell. The painter Delacroix happened to witness this tragic and fierce scene. Filled with indignation, he created "Freedom to Guide the People".
Everyone, please look at this gentleman in a tuxedo. This is Delacroix himself. While expressing revolutionary passion, this famous painter has not forgotten to show the cuteness of intellectuals! "
With that said, Ye Tian also pointed to Delacroix who was holding a double-barreled shotgun on the painting and was preparing to fight behind the Statue of Liberty!
"Hahaha"
There was a knowing laughter, and all the visitors laughed softly.
When the laughter subsided a little, Ye Tian immediately took over the words just now and continued to explain this world famous painting to everyone.
In a blink of an eye, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Ye Tian and the others finally visited the many top artworks displayed in the big gallery. Although they were watching the flowers, they were also very happy!
Next, it's time to admire the famous Italian lady, "Mona Lisa", and see what secrets are hidden behind her mysterious smile, and whether it can bring a huge surprise!
After visiting the "Mona Lisa" hall, go straight ahead and you will enter the French oil painting gallery, where Napoleon's collections are displayed, all of which are very important French oil paintings.
After coming out of the French Oil Painting Museum, it is estimated that it will be time for the Louvre to close. Today's art tour of the Louvre will also be a perfect end.
After enjoying the last painting in the big gallery, "The Prodigal Son Turns Back" by Rio Nero Sparta, Ye Tian and the others turned around and walked towards the entrance of the big gallery connecting the Mona Lisa Hall.
Although they have been visiting the Louvre for most of the day, they are still energetic at this time and can't see the feeling of fatigue.
Each of them is still full of interest, wishing to see all the top artworks in the Louvre collection in one day, that would be enjoyable!
Obviously, that is impossible!
Seeing them turn and leave, the visitors immediately asked curiously:
"Steven, where are you going to visit next? Can we continue to follow you and listen to your explanation? To be honest, your explanation is the most professional and exciting I have ever heard, and it makes people want to stop!"
Ye Tian turned to look at the inquiring visitor, then smiled and said loudly:
"Next, we are going to visit the "Mona Lisa" hall to appreciate the most famous painting in the world and the mysterious smile of the Italian lady.
The "Mona Lisa" hall is not as big as a big gallery. There is limited space there, and there must be a lot of visitors gathered in front of "Mona Lisa", so I don't recommend everyone to follow us.
If you continue to follow us and listen to my explanation as before, it is estimated that the "Mona Lisa" room will be blocked in an instant, and there may be accidents.
In view of this, in order to avoid this from happening, I will not explain it publicly! Please forgive me, please visit by yourself and enjoy this beautiful day! "
Hearing him say this, what else can other visitors say!
"Well, Steven, if that's the case, let's visit on our own. Thank you for your previous explanation. It was wonderful! It also opened our eyes. Today's trip to the Louvre is really worth it!"
The visitor nodded and said just now, with a little regret.
Afterwards, the many visitors who followed Ye Tian and them quickly dispersed, and went to visit them separately, and the large gallery quickly restored its original appearance.
Ye Tian and the others admired the artworks hanging on the walls of the large gallery, chatting in a low voice, and strolling towards the "Mona Lisa" hall. Everyone was very relaxed.
Just as they were about to walk to the entrance of the "Mona Lisa" hall, Ye Tian suddenly felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.
He took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was Martinez's call.
Immediately afterwards, he slid the screen lock and brought the phone to his ear, and Martinez's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Steven, you have been visiting the big gallery just now, and you are explaining the artworks hanging in the big gallery to visitors. I didn't call you for fear of disturbing your Yaxing.
I heard from the staff of the Great Gallery that I will call you after you have finished your visit. Here is a good news to inform you. I believe you will be ecstatic and cheered after listening to it! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
What was the good news Martinez said, he had guessed in an instant.
"What's the good news specifically? Martinez, let's just listen, has the Guimet Museum already let go and agreed to my exchange terms?"
"Yes, the Jigme Museum has already relented and agreed to your exchange terms. They are still discussing the details, and it is estimated that a decision will be made soon.
After lunch, we held a video conference with several senior officials of the Jimei Museum. We promised to give away a few heavyweight collections, and then the Jimei Museum nodded in agreement.
It seems that our art deal is about to be concluded. We at the Louvre can't avoid being slaughtered by you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Thinking of this, we are in pain! "
Martinez said with excitement, what a painful feeling!
"Awesome! When the Jigme Museum makes a decision, you must contact me as soon as possible. I would like to know which Chinese antique works of art the Jigmei Museum will exchange.
From now on until the museum closes in the evening, we will either visit the Mona Lisa Hall or visit the French Oil Painting Gallery. You can also come and find us directly, which is very convenient! "
Ye Tian chuckled and said in a low voice, his excited eyes shone straight.
Almost without thinking, Martinez gave the answer.
"At that time, I will come and find you. While reporting the news, I also want to hear your explanation. It must be very exciting!"
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian hung up the phone and ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, they walked into the Mona Lisa exhibition hall, ready to appreciate the world's most famous painting!
